I was planning to apply my Temporary Resident Visa online, so logged on to MyCIC with online wizard but my application shows it's name as "Application for Temporary Resident Visa Made Outside of Canada (IMM5257) " in the upload section in spite of me saying I am from within Canada, is it just normal way for everyone ?

Would be also nice if someone shares their recent online TRV timelines here. Bcoz I need to plan for some travel soon.
Hope someone can help me here.

I haven't personally applied online but rather on paper, however, "Application for Temporary Resident Visa Made Outside of Canada (IMM5257)" is the actual title of the form i believe, irrespective of your physical location.

Keep in mind that people from outside of Canada also apply online. It is not the same thing.

Thanks fkl, I assume its the same name even if its from within Canada but just want to know better from all those people who have applied similarly.
Would be nice to confirm people who have done from within.

I applied for TRV online. Just follow your check list and you will be fine. Dont worry about when you see "Outside of Canada". You are applying online and that is how it works.

I found this page in the CIC. I hope this will guide everyone who are applying for TRV from within Canada "Apply for a new temporary resident visa from within Canada"
